That's a lot of problems to have in the first year. Have you thought about rejecting the car back to VW and asking for a new one?

Sometimes you just get a friday night car...........

When I worked at Fiat we had brand new cars come in with batteries and crushed beer cans stuffed into the chassis on the puntos! couldn't get them out- we had to use expanding foam to stop the noise they made flying up and down the chassis as we couldn' get them out.

I wasnt happy in the slightest and wanted a different car but they didnt seem to care too much and said take it to the stealers I purchased it from but they said we can work out a deal. So basically he would buy my car at a stupid price and I would have to put another 4k down to get a new car. Ridiculous.

Yeah, it had a cracked block which happens from time to time, basically it came like that from the factory.

thats bad, have you tried trading standards?

It happend at 4 months old and its pushing on a year old now so cant really see me having a strong argument anymore.

Was expecting to have alot of problems with other things when the new engine was fitted and things seem to be going all the time, if it continues then I can give the car back in March next year and look for something different or maybe a DSG ED30.
